If the blood is coming from the left bronchus, the child’s bronchioles would be gushing blood when the swab was taken out.
But the blood is coming from the right bronchus.
Other foreign objects might have scratched the right bronchus; the likelihood of the swab scratching the tracheal wall is very low.
The group of doctors realized the severity of the upcoming situation and asked around, "What dental treatnt did she undergo previously?"
As a dentist, Lin Liqiong was called in urgently to assist in the diagnosis.
Using an oral mirror, Lin Liqiong examined the child’s oral cavity under the daylight lamp and said, "There’s a cavity here; this deciduous tooth is decayed. Perhaps there was a plan to extract this tooth, but it first requires treatnt for acute inflammation. Once the inflammation subsides, the tooth can be extracted. It seems that the crown of this decayed tooth has broken, so—"
"Are you suggesting that the fragnt of this decayed tooth was dropped into the trachea along with the swab?" the other doctors analyzed her words.
"That’s a possibility. Specifically, you can ask the dentist who treated her. Or we can do a CT scan to see inside the trachea." Lin Liqiong said.
The thoracic surgeons were undoubtedly thinking: absolutely hoping there’s no massive bleeding in the trachea, otherwise, surgery might be necessary.
In a hurry, Zhang Huayao turned his head, listening if there was any sound of an arriving ambulance downstairs. The life that was barely brought back would be terribly tragic if it was blocked by blood again.
Due to the bleeding, the child may appear slightly irritable and restless ntally.
"I know you have a CT machine here, send her to the CT room first." Fu Xinheng said.
"Yes, we have a CT machine." Lin Liqiong nodded and went to call the CT room.
We must seize this chance while the child can still breathe to quickly see what’s going on inside the trachea.
"If we’re doing a CT, why not take a chest X-ray first, it’s quicker." Zhang Huayao said.
Boss, perhaps just a chest X-ray could allow so level of judgnt. A CT has to be processed and isn’t as fast as fluoroscopy.
The child needs to be taken for examination, and during this break, Cao Yong took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and handed it to the person in front of him: "Here, wipe this."
Slightly patted on the arm, Xie Wanying turned back and saw the handkerchief handed over by her senior, took it, and looked down: Oh, it looks familiar.
Seeing her facial expression, Cao Yong couldn’t help but crack a smile.
It seed she heard Senior Cao laughing, and Xie Wanying thought in her heart: She and Senior Brother Huang are both little fools. This handkerchief was given to Senior Cao by her previously. Now, Senior Cao doesn’t need it himself and handed it to her to wipe her sweat. It shows she needs to train and continue working hard to beco as capable as a Da Niu like Senior Cao.
Finally, following Zhang Huayao’s suggestion, the child was first sent for fluoroscopy to examine the situation inside the trachea.
After the fluoroscopy, other family mbers of Sisi arrived at the Departnt of Stomatology Building, including Sisi’s father, grandmother, aunt, and a large group of elder relatives. Each adult was anxiously complaining to the hospital, demanding the attending doctor to co out.
Doctor Chen learned of the news and rushed back, wanting to co forward and explain clearly to the family, but was persuaded by his colleagues to hide in the office. The family was not rational at this mont and wouldn’t listen to a word from the doctor.
Pediatric risk is high, the return is low, and the worst part is that because a child’s life holds the most important place in most families, if an accident occurs, adults’ emotions will surge to a very high level. Additionally, family mbers usually believe they love the child the most, and if sothing happens, they don’t dare to think it’s entirely their fault, instead looking for other reasons, fearing they can’t face the truth.
